I wish to make a diamond as a resource file so I am rotating a square in order to do so. The problem is that the corners seem to be getting cut off, making a hexagon instead
Heres how:
**<item android:left="5dp" android:right="5dp" android:top="5dp" android:bottom="5dp">**
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="45"
android:toDegrees="45" >
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="@color/sym_orange_bdfm"/>
<size
android:width="23dp"
android:height="23dp"/>
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
Adjust Left/Right/Top/Bottom as needed.
This was already solved here: Diamond shape xml background for android view
Just change fill color and stroke width according to your needs.
